प्रश्न
How far is it correct to say that local time is the Sun time?
उत्तर
When the Sun reaches the highest point in the sky, while crossing the meridian of any place, it is mid-day or 12.00 noon at that place. If watches are adjusted according to this time, then it will be known as local time. But the highest position of the sun can be found only on a sunny day. Therefore it is correct to say that local time is the Sun-time.
